LONG story - Vista Ultimate crash - fresh image backed up but now on Vista home >>>

I was planning to do several driver upgrades on Thursday including Bios. So I used the vista Complete PC Backup - and Imaged drive C to a portable HD.

Everything went fine ....

Laptop is a toshiba satellite 32 bit running Ultimate.

Sure enough it crashed on one of the reboots - 5 chkdsks later I gave up and put in the DVD recovery disks I got from Future shop when I purchased it in OCT 2007.

Well - it installed Vista HOME (although it came with Ultimate - I do not have windows disks). Vista home apparently only does traditional back-ups and restores.

I want to take it back to Thursday. Is there anything I can do to restore the VHD image on my system .....

Pulling my hair out here ...

Thanks in advance

I have used Basic Preium,and did not see any real difference in them.System crashes occur in vista alot,and are usually from memory dump.This is a habit of vista!
